Abstract

A Monte Carlo (MC) technique is used to model the austenite-ferrite transformation in a Fe-C binary system in two dimensions. To simulate such a kind of transformation in the scale of grains, a new model different from the traditional one is developed. The simulation allows for the monitoring of the microstructure and concentration distribution of carbon evolution in the system. This model is also able to predict the equilibrium volume fraction of austenite in the system. A good agreement is achieved with the experimental results.
